How Much You Should Tip in 67 Countries Around the World

Nothing will introduce you to more variance in culture and customs that international travel. From fashion to work like balance, each region of the world has its own way of doing things. While this can be confusing, it's also one of the reasons international travel is so important. It can open you up to vast new ways of seeing the world. One aspect of travel that points out big culture differences between countries is how much to tip when dining out.

In the U.S., the average tip is about 20% of the bill, and in recent years, some restaurants have even suggested that 25% or 30% is the proper gratuity level. In most countries around the world, tipping that much—or even at all—is unheard of, and it may even be frowned upon. So how much should you tip the next time you travel? The answer may depend on whether there is a service charge included, as well as what is routine in the local culture. Follow this tipping etiquette for travelers to avoid making an international faux pas.
